Todd Baio || My Early Inspiration

I was trying to think back about why, how, when did I get interested in the baritone ukulele. I am not really sure but Todd's videos were surely inspirational at that time. He did a BARITONE UKULELE WEEK just over 2 years ago. In his first video he added these comments...

The ukulele and cowboy/folk songs go great together. Anyway, today kicks off my 'baritone ukulele' week for you all. Currently, my favorite ukes are polar opposites. The soprano and the baritone, but I want to 'focus' on the baritone this week because I know that some of my YT friends have considered crossing the threshold and getting one for themselves. I'll help anyway i can ;)

Ahhh the baritone...

Added bass tones to help fill out your sound...especially with vocals

It's a little bit uke and a little bit guitar...who could ask for more?

But todd, it doesn't have that re-entrant sound!' no worries brothers and sisters....they make string sets for that if you so desire...or just grab an extra first string and put it in the fourth position.

That's all for now from Todd's Baritone Ukulele Week but he has many more videos, explore... and I'll be back for another Todd (Doogey9) compilation soon. For now if you want to see more check out The Baried DoGBonE post for Doogey9.

Lately, I have been working on The Bad-Ass Baritone Ukulele, TBABU, which is a blog of playlists featuring baritone ukulele players that have been featured on HB over the last 8 years. Each playlist is of a single artist (or band).

Do me a favor and take a look at TBABU, leave comments on any player you like. I use these as playlists to enjoy at the end of the workday or while drving.

Thanks for your bari interest...
